I love this entry. It brings back a lot of memories. Some of the stories are new to me, as I was probably too young to remember too much and my mother too ill to remember them. By the time that I was aware of “family ties”, we had long since moved to the US and was no longer in contact with my cousins, aunts and uncles. Thank heaven for Internet and the ability to share documents! If only we could now recreate the lost German documentation that would allow us to continue our search into the past! Thank you Barbara for all your work! Graciela
